Specific cognitive correlates of the quality of life of extremely preterm school-aged children without major neurodevelopmental disability
Pediatric Research Feb 19, 2020
Gire C, Tosello B, Marret S, et al. - This study was undertaken to determine whether specific cognitive behavioral impairments affected the quality of life (QoL) within a large multicenter cohort of 7–10 year olds surviving extremely preterm (EPT) without a major neurodevelopmental disability. Two generic, self-proxy, and parental evaluations were obtained between 7 and 10 years of age. Two hundred eleven school-aged EPT children were analyzed. School and health care providers need to concentrate more on the lower EPT children to understand the preterm behavioral/cognitive phenotype and their possible need for support measures. Work on preventive interventions is needed to examine whether these long-term effects of an EPT birth can be reduced in and after the neonatal period.
